battery terminals by unscrewing the terminal nut and bolt. Use a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable
wrench.
•
Slide the old battery the rest of the way out of the unit and slide the new battery in its place. The color coded
battery terminals are positioned outward for easy access. Reconnect the wire terminals to the new battery..
The red wire connects to the red marked battery terminal and the black wire connects to the black marked
battery terminal. Use a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench to securely tighten the terminal
hardware.
•
Slide the new battery fully back into the unit. Tuck the wires around the battery so they are not in the way
of the battery door.
•
Align the battery door with the square block (on the inside of the battery door) towards the battery and
face the screw holes down. Slightly angle the tab on the battery door on the drive train’s lip (in the
battery opening) and hook it on (
Figure 10 ).
•
Make sure the battery wires don’t stick out from under the door.
•
Reattach the screws though each hole in the battery door, and tighten them snugly with a Phillips
screwdriver. Be careful not to over-tighten them.
•
Tilt the unit back onto its wheels. Run the unit briefly to check that the battery replacement went well.
About the Overload Safety Feature
Your NEUTON Garden Cart has a built-in safety fuse. If your Cart is overloaded or the operating
conditions are too severe, the safety fuse automatically trips and stops your Cart. The fuse automatically
resets itself after about 5 seconds. Then you can move your Cart again.
Of course, before you use your Cart again, you should change how you are using your Cart. Try reducing
the load. Keep under 200 pounds (90 kilograms) on level surfaces; no more than 175 pounds (79
kilograms) on a 10° slope; and no more than 150 pounds (68 kilograms) on a 20° slope.
Don’t drive straight up slopes; move up and down a slope at less of an angle. Keep out of loose or
muddy terrain, which can cause the wheels to spin freely or even stop spinning while power is still being
supplied to the motor; drive on more solid ground.
All these tips help keep the fuse from shutting down.
If the fuse continually trips while you are using your Cart under normal conditions, please contact our
Technical Support Department at
1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661).
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE MOVING UP A STEEP INCLINE OR USING THE CART IN SEVERE
CONDITIONS. IF THE SAFETY FUSE DOES TRIP, THE CART’S LOAD MIGHT SUDDENLY SHIFT AND
ALLOW THE CART TO ROLL BACK ON YOU, WHICH MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
